Blockbuster filmmaker SS Rajamouli, known for creating cinematic epics like Baahubali and RRR, turned cricket commentator (at least on social media) as he dropped an emotional and thoughtful post ahead of the much-anticipated IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). The post featured an image of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer shaking hands, symbolizing sportsmanship and mutual respect ahead of a game that will make or break hearts across the country.

In his post, Rajamouli spotlighted Shreyas Iyer’s incredible leadership arc, writing: "Iyer guiding Bumrah’s and Boult’s yorkers to the third man boundary… Exquisite… This man leads Delhi to a final… and is dropped… Leads Kolkata to a trophy… dropped… Leads a young Punjab to the finals after 11 years. He deserves this year’s trophy too." The director’s words echo the sentiment of many fans who’ve seen Iyer rise, fall, and rise again—now leading PBKS after being bought for a record-breaking INR 26.75 crore in the auction.

But Rajamouli’s admiration didn’t stop there. Turning to Virat Kohli, he added: "On the other hand, it is Kohli… who is performing year on year… compiling thousands of runs. The final frontier for him… He deserves it too." With over 8000 runs in the IPL and the memory of his unforgettable 973-run season, Kohli remains the eternal icon chasing the one thing missing from his cricketing résumé—a coveted IPL title.

Rajamouli summed it up with a line that perfectly captures the drama and emotional stakes: "Whatever the result… it’s going to be a heartbreak." His post reflects not just a filmmaker’s flair for storytelling, but also a fan’s deep love for the sport—acknowledging that on June 3, 2025, when PBKS and RCB clash, one legacy will rise while another will ache. But no matter who lifts the trophy, the moment already belongs to the game—and to two men who define passion, perseverance, and pride.
